Right-Click protection

Okay, I am spanking new to the pro accounts, but I have a question about right-click protection. It works fine in the galleries, and viewing photos of different sizes, but I believe I found a loop-hole in the "share photo" situation:

After you click on the 'share photo' icon, you are taken into that screen, which defaults to email sharing. Email sharing looks fine, but if you click on the "forums/blogs" option, it takes you to a page where you select the image size you want to share. Hey, those images aren't right-click protected!

I want to share my images via blogs, forums, etc -- it helps get them out there for people to see, but I don't like that loop-hole, and I don't see why it would be necessary. Don't all blogs and fourms accept direct links if they accept image posts at all??

Even worse, if you post a photo somewhere, even though it is only 'hot-linked' -- not uploaded -- it appears that anyone can simply 'right click' on your image in the forum in which it appears and download it from there

Right click ONLY works on your SmugMug gallery. If you allow external links, or post the photo in a forum or blog, it is beyond our control
